SAS-H ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATIO forming part of Letters Patent No.364,965, dated June 14,1887.

Application filed January 5, 1: 87. Serial No. 223,449. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RnMsEN SonnNoK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved \Vindow-Sash Attachment, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part thereof.

This invention relates to an attachment to the upper sash of a window, by means of which such sash can be readily lowered and raised, and the means for so operating the sash will, when not in use, swing out of the way of the lower sash in raising and lowering such lower In other words, this attachment is arranged within the stiles of the sash, so that it lies against the stile and flush with the surface of the window-frame.

In the drawings, Figurel represents a; front elevation of a window, to the upper sash of which my invention is applied. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the window, taken in the line 00 w of Fig. 1, showing the attachment on one side of the window. Fig. 3 is a view of an enlargement of one of the upper corners of the window-sash, as shown in Fig. 1.

a a are two bars, one on each side of the window, resting closely against the angle formed by the pane of glass and one of the Vertical stiles of the window-frame. Inserted in the top of this bar-is a screw-eye, I), having its eye opened in the shape of a hook, so as to hook into anotherscrew-eye, a, which is inserted intothestiledoftheuppersash. Thesebarsaa are long enough to swing within the upper and lower horizontal stiles of the upper sash,loosely secured within the stiles and flush with the surfaces of same, so that in the movement of the window-sashes up and down they will be entirely out of the way. These bars can also be made to closely resemble the stile both in color and in molding, so that'they will not be noticed by the ordinary observer casually looking at the window.

The operation of these bars is as follows: \Vhen it is desired to pull down the upper sash, the bars are pulled forward'and downward, one in each hand. Bypushing up the bars the sash is moved up into place again, and thebars then swing in against the windowpane and flush with the outer surface of the window-stiles, so that free movement can be given to the lower sash up and down, in order to wash the windows, 850., with the same ease as if no sash-moving attachment were on the window. In Fig. 2 the dotted lines represent one of these bars being pulled forward by the hand just at the commencement of the operation to pull down the upper sash. Vith this operation and arrangement of the parts a heavy window is very easily handled, and at the same time the attachment can be very readily detached from the sash. ranged as to be like a part of the stiles themselves, and is scarcely noticed.

I claim- The swinging window-bars a a, constructed at their inner ends with hooks b b, in combination with eyes 0 c, inserted in the stiles d d of the upper sash, so that such bars are brought flush with the surface of the upper sash, and one sash be freely passed over the other one substantially as described.
